@Jason Sung, common sense says that yes it is true.

@Cole Starin sometimes it makes sense to sell the WORST property in your portfolio.Another option is why do a LOC on the duplex, when you could just do a $100k cashout refi to pay off all your debt AND keep the property?

They will see a large pipeline of local deals, and they will buy some as rentals, flip others, and flip the contract (wholesale) a handful where it makes sense.

Quote from @Andrew Rodriguez: @Theresa Harris: You make sense.

But if you want to free up resources for other opportunities or simplify things, selling might make more sense.

Lastly, the price point is still very cheap here in the sense that you can still find investment deals that hit the 1% rule for 120-180k!

It's just common sense.

We can go higher if the numbers make sense. 

It makes sense for your new build but you'll have leverage something (fixed rate) to get out of that loan. 

Now that Kaaren has mentioned a self-directed HSA I think I'll definitely look at that in the future, there's not quite enough saved up in there yet to make sense to invest in truly alternative assets but at some point maybe!
